Nights of Lights 2012. Downtown St Augustine Holiday Festival

“Once under Spanish rule, this 16th-century city fetes its heritage. Single white candles once flickered from colonists’ windows; during Nights of Lights, the 144-square-block historic district twinkles with two million bulbs (each white, per city ordinance). November 19-January 31.” Downtown St Augustine’s Holiday Festival, the Nights of Lights, included by National Geographic in their Top 10 Places to see Holiday Lights begins November 17th, 2012.

The Holiday Festivities begin November 17th 2012 and run until January 31st, 2013. The two month long celebration in the Oldest City in America, traces back to the Spanish tradition of displaying a lighted white candle during the Christmas season.
